I have Match Frame Rate enabled both in Nuvio and on my Google TV Streamer (4k).

I get the popup that shows the frame rate and resolution before the stream plays.

When there is a very slow pan I get really bad stutter. It is especially noticable with animation.

If I set my television's Action Smoothing to 8 - 10 it completely fixes this stuttering.

Thing is, when researching this, everyone says it is due to frame rate not matching. Almost every answer is "Set your frame rate to the frame rate of the content you are watching and this will never happen."

They also seem to be extremely anti- action/motion smothing.

So... is Match Frame Rate in Nuvio not working or is everyone wrong about why stutter happens?

Thanks.

Initially wrote it off. Just went back and had a look and the average episode rating on IMDb has gone from Season 1 - 6.9 (niccce) to Season 2 - 8.2 (nicer but less funny).

Just curious, do you think it has really improved that much or is it mayber that the only people who are still watching (and rating) it are those who loved the first season?

I did hear that they have plans for it to be fairly long-running and therefore spent most of season 1 with character development, world building, etc. Maybe this just turned off the more ADHDpilled viewers?

Thoughts?

I literally can't use it any more. They just made native Nuvio integration count towards the one app you can connect.

I've linked my email address. Let me just use that to sign in.

"I wasn't that bothered by the limit of one connected app because Nuvio integration didn't count and the only app I wanted to connect to was MDBList.

But just now I got signed out and told I had to Re-login and when I tried it said my one app was already taken up by Nuvio.

Why are you trying so hard to make me delete my account?"

I just tried posting this on r/Trakt and even re-wording it several times it was instantly deleted every time.

I have Trakt intergration in Nuvio.

I also have MDBList connected to Trakt as my one app.

At least I did.

For a while any app that was still connected stayed connected. So for a while my connected apps were at 3/1.

A week or two back I got signed out of everything so I could only pick one app to sign back into. I picked MBDList.

Luckily Nuvio did not count towards that one app limit.

Now it does.

Just now I was once again signed out of Trakt on MDBList and a popup said "Re-login to Trakt required."

But when I went to sign back in says "Connection limit reached" and lists Nuvio as my one connected app.

Eat a dick Trakt.

I'm a pretty big anime fan. Been watching it for 30 years. I've usually got 3 or 4 I'm watching at once along with regular movies and TV series. Right now I'm re-watching Chainsaw Man and finishing off Demon Slayer, Vinland Saga and The Rising of the Shield Hero... That fuckin' turtle!

The best thing I've come across for improving my anime watching experience is SeaDex. It's a game changer.

That being said, there are quite a few shows that are part way through their first season right now that I really want to watch...

Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You

Grow Up Show - Sunflower Circus

Sparks of Tomorrow

The Ramparts of Ice

The Ghost in the Shell

Chainsmoker Cat

Draw This, Then Die

All these are like half way through their first season and are not on SeaDex yet.

I checked out the first episode of Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You and the top result was like 900 MB, AAC 2.0 and did not have Signs & Songs subtitles.

I like the idea of watching some great new anime as they air each week but it seems like the earliest we can expect a version good enough to be listed on SeaDex is about 6 weeks after the last episode of the season airs.

So what to you guys do? Are you willing to wait for a better experience or do you just want to watch it as soon as you can?

During the WeTrakr beta VIP has been free and originally the dev said that anyone who had VIP in the beta would keep it for life.

Then yesterday he announced that now only the top 10 people who "contributed the most" will keep it. The next 15 will get a 50% discount and the next 25 will get a 20% discount. Everyone else gets a badge.

So outside of the 50 people spamming Discord the most we have gone from free VIP for life to a fucking badge!

Hopefully this will stop the WeTrakr spam in every thread remotely related to tracking now that they realise they are going to have to cough up $3 a month.

EDIT because a couple of schizos have shown up and started calling me a liar and downvoting anything I post. So... the receipts...

"everyone who takes an active part in this project during the beta will keep VIP after the beta ends."

https://preview.redd.it/afsx5tnoa7ih1.png?width=957&format=png&auto=webp&s=49dc8d0182f002a094da93274a58380b65f4c081

But I'm guessing I will not be keeping my VIP.

ANOTHER EDIT because the dev is here and trying to do damage control but unfortunately for him one of his followers actually provided even more damning evidence that he broke his word.

The message I had said...

"everyone who takes an active part in this project during the beta will keep VIP after the beta ends."

In this message from at least two months ago he actually says...

"anyone with a beta-era account keeps free VIP access."

After getting Simkl PRO and doing an import I thought my History was finally accurate. But after it updated at midnight I noticed it now has more plays than it should.

I went into History and selected only Shows and found two shows that I have never watched.

https://mdblist.com/show/lrbh-snow-flower

https://mdblist.com/show/24679-the-nfl-s-greatest-games

So I hit Clear History and removed them but the weird thing is that despite the show being marked none of the episodes were and I still have two more episodes than I was expecting. Every other tracking site says I have watched 1315 episodes but MDBList says it's 1317.

I am hoping there is a way to check for duplicates because I really don't want to go though over 1300 episodes.

----------

EDIT: So I've been digging around in History and going through each show and it is an absolute mess. Nothing is remotely accurate.

Here is the first two episodes of Stranger Things that I have watched in the past week...

https://preview.redd.it/vq6v97ukonhh1.png?width=823&format=png&auto=webp&s=75b77681123150b5261b1697e13c5d7fdf6d299e

But no, I guess I haven't...

https://preview.redd.it/zmrk0egsonhh1.png?width=959&format=png&auto=webp&s=9592fd063ea328b2bfef0ba602fb86e6c1915282

Because I have only watched one episode. Episode 2. Except...

https://preview.redd.it/rt717c1xonhh1.png?width=1420&format=png&auto=webp&s=c639e920457eb504c69f08b9b437e6db04464a76

Here is episode 1 that I watched 6 days ago aparently.

Vinland Saga is even worse...

https://preview.redd.it/c8gatqd6pnhh1.png?width=1185&format=png&auto=webp&s=74254f3511c7a71649770df483806587e017bfff

I have watched the first 11 episodes of season 1. Or maybe I watched episodes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10 twice each and then episode 11 once for good luck.

https://preview.redd.it/wgsssjyfpnhh1.png?width=1402&format=png&auto=webp&s=b4e11941b9a8b539c74b925feccdf876c7494a6e

And this is just the first two I looked at because I am still on the first season of both.

What the hell is going on?!!

Now that I have unlocked PRO on Simkl I thought I'd check in on WeTrakr. So I connected and imported.

-------

MDBList, Trakt and Simkl all have me at 1314 episodes watched. After the import, WeTrakr showed 1346. An extra 32 episodes.

After scrolling all the way through 1300+ episodes, I found 32 episodes of The Rising of the Shield Hero that I have not watched yet under "Unknown Date" at the bottom.

I have watched this show up to and including Season 2 Episode 5.

Season 2 Episode 6 through to Season 4 Episode 12 were marked as watched on an Unknown Date. I manually removed each one and now the numbers line up again.

But now this show does not appear under Watching. Obviously, after "unwatching" those episodes it should now have Season 2 Episode 6 in Watching.

Hopefully you can figure out how this happened and fix it so it doesn't happen again.

-------

It also listed a bunch of items that it couldn't identify because Simkl does anime by season. So Frieren Season 1 and Frieren Season 2 are two separate entries in Simkl / MAL / AniList / etc, but grouped like non-anime shows on all other tracking sites.

It would be good if you could have this auto resolve because right now, as I close each of these, it gives a notification that this will just repeat itself next time.

-------

Also, personal rant, I really wish all these tracking sites could agree on a standard set of rules. My Watchlist, which contains only Anime, is different on Trakt, Simkl and WeTrakr.

• It's 156 items on Trakt (and MDBList)
• It's 154 items on Simkl because some genius decided the three Fate Stay/Night Heaven's Feel movies that came out in 2017, 2019, and 2020 and are each 2 hours long, should be grouped like three episodes of a show.
• And it seems Wetrakr doesn't even have a Watchlist and splits it into two lists of 7 Next Movies and 149 Next Shows.

Not to mention the fact that movies like Cowboy Bebop the Movie or End of Evangelion are sometimesn considered movies and sometimes anime.

I guess first up I am asking if it is already possible. If not let's make it a feature request.

Can you add your Simkl Personal Lists and Recommendations as catalogs in AIOMetadata?

Thanks.

Now that we can only connect one app to Trakt I disconnected MDBList when linking Trakt elsewhere.

The problem I'm having now is that every time I open MDBList or do anything on the site like click on a list or something I get a pop up saying "Relogin to Trakt required."

So I went to disconnect Trakt and and it tells me I can't unless I connect Google, Github or Apple first. No. I'm not doing that. I already linked my email. That should be enough.

Please sort this out.

I've used MusicBee for over a decade. Over the first few years I painstakingly manually added tags and lyrics to over 400 songs. Now I go back and have a look through my playlist and they have added some trash AI auto-tagging and it has re-tagged my entire library.

And it got a lot of it wrong. I'm pretty sure 1994 is not a Genre. And even if it was, I don't want Genre... or Publisher... or Composer. And I don't want it changing the album from the orignal album to a Greatest Hits. And I certainly I don't want it replacing hi-res album art with some 400x400 garbage.

Why the hell would you make this on by default? And why the hell is it still occassionally doing it even now that I have turned it off?

This is the definition of enshittification.

/rant

I had three apps linked to Trakt.

AIOMetadata

MDBList

WeTrakr

This does not seem excessive. But when I just opened MDBList I got the message that I had been signed out of Trakt and needed to sign back in. In order to do so I had to revoke access to AIOMetadata and WeTrakr. I was okay with disconnecting WeTrakr as I was just testing it and didn't like it.

But I guess now the one last thing Trakt had that I still found useful, the Recommendations catalogs in AIOMetadata, will no longer work.

The sooner we get MDBList / Simkl integration the sooner I can finally be rid of Trakt.

I have already bought a subscription to MDBList. Only £20 a year, too.

I had three apps linked to Trakt.

AIOMetadata

MDBList

WeTrakr

This does not seem excessive. But when I just opened MDBList I got the message that I had been signed out of Trakt and needed to sign back in. In order to do so I had to revoke access to AIOMetadata and WeTrakr. I would have been okay with disconnecting WeTrakr as I was just testing it and didn't really like it.

But I guess now the one last thing Trakt had that I still found useful, the Recommendations catalogs in AIOMetadata, will no longer work.

So you want us to pay for VIP? Okay. I just signed up. For MDBList. And it was only £20 for a year.

I have always used MDBList for creating catalogs. The Dynamic lists especially are awesome. This is where you can make personalised automatically updating lists for things like Latest / Popular / Trending / Aniticipated.

The layout wasn't great though. I made a few suggestions last night and woke up this morning to find they had been implemented. I don't know if that was a coincidence and he was already working on it or he is just that quick but I'm really liking the layout now. All the information you need but not too busy. And very customizable.

https://preview.redd.it/ik0pto3jv5gh1.jpg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76bdd98d1e9b37e659b220eca0f06abc96648d07

I have been thinking about paying for membership for a while and this convinced me. That is why Recommended has not populated yet. It is one of a handful of VIP benefits and I only signed up half an hour ago. The main benefit though is just the number of lists.

Free = 4 Static and 4 Dynamic

Basic (£1.50 a month) = 10 Static and 10 Dynamic

Standard (£2 a month) = 30 Static and 30 Dynamic

I went with the Standard. Next step is to replace all the borrowed list I have been using for catalogs with my own personalised versions.

tl;dr I am really hoping we get MDBList integration in Nuvio.

So here is how I have my Dashboard...

https://preview.redd.it/u08or5sle2gh1.png?width=1403&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5d048eb37115540f89f509640322287ecf62aac

I used uBlock Origin to get rid of the Genres and the weird green dot calendar. I love the Up Next / Upcoming combo and how smooth it toggles between the two. Love this section.

This next part... not so much...

https://preview.redd.it/alz4yuk2f2gh1.png?width=1372&format=png&auto=webp&s=2fd382acc52c5dd4c28ed39f50b3dcecd29a6674

I hate this. Recent activity only shows the most recent episode for each show. And I have never, and will never, rated anything.

What I would like to see is an option to instead have History here with the same layout as Up Next from above. But I guess with landscape episode thumbnails. But you would probably want them to be bigger than they are in Recent Activity.

And lastly...

https://preview.redd.it/x6huxj4mg2gh1.png?width=1395&format=png&auto=webp&s=e584177898c27106faf1ad28325ff131165e44c8

Lists. Are almost perfect. I would really like to be able to change the order. I have serious OCD and obviously the top row should be...

Latest Movies | Trending Movies | Latest Series | Trending Series

and the bottom row should be...

Movies | Series | Anime | MCU

and if you don't know why then we can't be friends.

I am this close (you have to imagine me holding my thumb and forefinger like 2mm apart) to paying for the Standard membership. These two things are all it would take.

A while back I imported my Trakt data to bring my MDBList account up to date. Recently my AIOMetadata was down so I switched to a backup. Several TV episodes that I watched during this time are not marked as watched. The back up I used does have MDBList tracking toggled on...

https://preview.redd.it/y28sg41d62gh1.png?width=1474&format=png&auto=webp&s=35f88af831acab0a113c23aa839c8fd244b10939

and my API is valid...

https://preview.redd.it/edb5fqh872gh1.png?width=746&format=png&auto=webp&s=812c8dad1c76f692a990bf4cacbb79a7ff7db2cf

so I don't know why it didn't mark them as watched.

Now that my main AIOMetadata is back up I went to import my Trakt data again only to see this...

https://preview.redd.it/1rgr5x8o52gh1.png?width=1392&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7246d32bbb3ba4f346da2161b5126771a35167d

So that's it? Because since Trakt has gotten so bad I have been thinking about switching to MDBList but if my account does not have accurate information it is of no use.

I have a collection of random downloaded songs on an old phone from like 2012 and I just went back and had a listen. Quality and audio level is all over the place. One was like 64kbps lol. But there's some great songs I haven't heard in years.

So I decided to make a playlist on YouTube Music.

Thing is, the version of Teenage Riot I've got on my old phone is 5:56.

All the information I can find is that the Album version is 6:57 and the single version is 3:50.

The one I've got sounds like a cleaner radio version and I'm starting to think it's just a really well done cover.

Anyone know where it came from?

Thanks

Converted the file from my phone into an MP4

I have 4 different AIOStreams set up.

2 Midnight

2 Elfhosted

For each of these hosts I have one for Real Debrid for Remux files (for anything with a BluRay release) and one for TorBox for Web-DLs (for anything with only a digital release).

One of the scrapers I use is TorBox Search. All 4 versions of AIOStreams have the APIs saved for both debrid services but for the two Real Debrid versions I just toggled TorBox off and for the two TorBox versions I toggled Real Debrid off.

All 4 of these worked perfectly when I set them up a few weeks ago.

But now when I went to make a minor change the Real Debrid version Elfhosted returns an error when I try to save.

"TorBox Search requires a TorBox API Key."

Anyone know why this is happening on Elfhosted and not on Midnight, and any possible solution?

Thanks.
